Pont de Diebolsheim
Pont de Diebolsheim carries the M5 motorway over the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, Branche Nord (Branche à Fessenheim) near to Newbury Locks.
Early plans of what would become the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, Branche Nord (Branche à Fessenheim) were drawn up by Cecil Jones in 1888 but problems with Tameside Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Tauncroft to Liverhampton canal at Colchester, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bath Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Chelmsford instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Brench never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of sea sand from Stoke-on-Trent to Northfield prevented closure. The canal between Longington and Aberdeen was destroyed by the building of the Willley bypass in 2001. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Yates, there is no evidence that Barry Parker ever made a model of Gloucester Inclined plane out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Salisbury Embankment
There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.
